House was nice, beds were comfortable, the view was great, and the close access to the beach was awesome. Only issues were the door to the master bath didn't close and there was only 1 accessible closet (the other 3 closets were locked for owner use only).

Wonderful long weekend stay

My husband, dog and I enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and we appreciated the fully stocked Keurig and treats. Additionally, the beds were very comfortable. The view from the deck was beautiful and was so convenient right on the beach. We hope to be back!

Beachfront, newly renovated house with well-stocked kitchen

Area was very quiet and right at the ocean. We enjoyed the comfortable furniture and mattresses and the well-stocked kitchen. Washer & dryer being under the house instead of in the house was the only downside. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy!

Relaxing vacation in a lovely cottage right on the ocean

This cottage was a lovely place for four adults to spend a week right on the ocean. We very much enjoyed the ocean views, surf fishing and walks along the ocean. The public access to the beach was very close to the cottage and very convenient for access. The cottage was nicely decorated and very comfortable. There wasn't much closet space, but other than that, it was a lovely place to stay for a week away from home.
